Product: San Francisco sourdough is one of the most famous sourdoughs in the world because of its coveted crust and distinct sour flavor. San Francisco starter (this starter) contains the yeast Torulopsis Holmii and the bacteria Lactobacillus sanfrancisco. 

Dried sourdough starter is in a dormant state, making it easy for you to store for a time you choose to activate. It takes only about 1 week for it to activate once you start! We also offer live sourdough if you wish to begin upon receipt and bake just a few short days after.

You may also choose our Gluten-Free Starter option (brown rice base), which originated from the same strain but is fed and kept separate from our wheat-based starter.

You will receive a generous amount of our Authentic San Francisco Sourdough Starter (dried) - enough to start your own and have some extra to share or save easily as a back-up. You will also receive detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to activate your starter and make sourdough.

Instructions are sent with notification of shipment, to give you time to prepare for necessary supplies and ingredients!

Very strong culture

Over a few decades, I've done the dry, wet cultures from others and my own at home. By far, this dried SF culture from Yemoos is, by far, one if the most strongest cultures I've come across. Started hydrating it on a Saturday. By that Tuesday morning, it was bubbling enough for a levain. Within 5 hours, it had tripled in size and Wednesday morning, I was baking it. Nice crumb, crunchy crust and very delicious. The culture makes a strong starter that is one of the best smelling I've had. I trust that I may be looking for other cultures from Yemoos.

So lively!

Thanks for the extra dried starter, just in case something happens, lol. Everything is going well and I've been baking about every other day.

High quality sourdough starter

I bought the dried sourdough starter a few weeks ago and am very impressed by the quality of the starter. After 48 hours it was very active and, since then, it has been tripling in volume each time I feed it. I was also very happy with the packaging and I liked the "Certificate of Adoption" that was included with the starter - very cute touch! :o) I can certainly highly recommend this starter.
